Week of 5/1

Colette's grandmom came to read to us last week!

Dear Parents,

Happy May! The rest of the year is going to fly by. Please make sure you have your calendars marked for the May Procession, the First Grade Mass and Doughnuts with Dudes. Here are your reminders for the week:

- We will have a spelling and reading test this Friday.

- Next Wednesday, May 10th at 7:00pm is the May Procession. Students need to wear their winter uniform so please make sure you have it ready to go!

- We have been practicing our "timed math" to get ready for second grade. Please make sure you continue to study math facts at home with your child. There are tons of games and apps that students can practice with.

Have a wonderful week!
